Given how extravagant Ferengi taste in clothing can be, that probably does make it worth it, for the stable income it'll bring him, that Garak can put to doing what he does best
In the Obsidian Order the first thing they teach you is tailoring hidden pockets into even the most flattering suit - and Elim Garak was the very best tailor anywhere. Visit Garak's Clothiers some time, you won't be disappointed.
I love how Garak was totally going to go through with it until he realizes it will get him nothing from Cardassia, then without any hesitation changes the plan entirely and somehow manages to become even more trusted by the people he was just about to execute and with 0 consequences. The subtle genius of a master spy.
Willing to bet his plan all along was to allow them to escape, he had a second weapon charged and armed ready to go before the other guy even walked into the scene. Its more likely he was simply baiting the other guy in to take him out in a reasonable fashion and to cover the escape.
Though this is early Garak (even before the Obsidian Order was created), I tend to think he had no intention of killing the dissidents. What he says at the end, and what we see of his character development over the seasons suggests that despite all of the Cardassian nationalistic programming, he's a realist and knows Cardassia needed to change. Plus, if Garak wanted them dead, they would never see it coming.
more likely he was expecting the cardassian to be lurking, waiting to catch Garak letting them go. That's why he had a second, concealed weapon: he knew the other guy would try to take over. It provided Garak with a great opportunity: let him think he had the upper hand so he'd let his guard down, then act
“You’ve never been right about anything.” “Well... some people should never be promoted.” “That alone makes it all worthwhile.” All the Garak one-liners peppered throughout this show are absolute GOLD
Quark and Garak! Yes. The two characters I LOVE the most. They're flawed, devious but always seem to have their hearts in the right place when it really matters. They were so layered and complex, two character literally exiled from their own homeworlds who were perfect foils to the 'oh so perfect Starfleet folks' and the crazy situations around them. If anything, I'd PAY to see a Star Trek Spin Off where we see tons of Garak and Quark.
Garak is packin heat dawg. that dude thought he disarmed him and never thought to think that Elim Garak would bother carrying two weapons during the course of a day. That's two energy weapons on a random day of his life. Thats a lot of fire power. Good on you Garak. Badass.
The order of the scene went like this... A: Quark and the dissidents arrive at the airlock... Quark is armed with a disruptor pistol... B: Garak was waiting for them at the airlock... Garak is also armed with a disruptor pistol... C: Garak takes Quark's disruptor during their conversation. Now Garak has 2 pistols... D: Toran arrives at the airlock... Toran is armed with a disruptor pistol... E: Toran takes Garak's disruptor pistol... F: Garak shoots Toran with Quark's disruptor pistol. And ... scene! :) Without seeing the whole sequence though it does sort of seem like Garak just pulls a disruptor pistol out of nowhere. But no - he wasn't packing 2 pistols when he first arrived. :)
+Nathan Fisk I think we can all agree that Garak would _never_ have let the other guy take his pistol if he didn't already have Quark's, though. He only let it happen because he knew he was fine and was just giving the smug Cardassian a false sense of a security. You never underestimate Garak and live to tell the tale.
so... when Garak used his weapon, the other guy just disappear, along with two weapons he was holding. not even vaporize, but just disappear without a trace. what if he dropped his weapon just a millisecond before he got shot, and the weapon was about an inch or two from his hand. would it still disappear? or would it be intact and drop to the flour?
@@WinstonfieldQPP "But no - he wasn't packing 2 pistols when he first arrived. :)" That we know of. Just because he had and used Quark's weapon doesn't necessarily mean he didn't have another one concealed on him.
When the two weapons held by the dead guy were incinerated/destroyed, would they not have caused explosions, or are they built to disintegrate quietly?
Garak never intended to kill Quark. He never would have waited that long. Garak knew Toran would show up and set up a situation where he could kill Toran in a justified manor and be seen as a hero for it rather than face murder charges as he would have if he had outright killed Toran.
@@SavageGreywolf Garak is a Cardassian, the whole planet and race is full of contradictions. I suspect its their way of life to confuse their enemies lol.
What a lovely Casablanca homage. Natima: We'll always have DS9. Funnily enough, this put's Quark in the position of Humphrey Bogart, a position he fills magnificently.
Garak, king of the win-win situation. He either proves his worth and reruns to Cardassia, the least likely situation, or he gains a powerful alley in Quark ingratiates himself to two leaders of a powerful Cardassian group and removes an enemy at the same time. Damn clever.
Much deeper than that. He knew as long as the Central Command existed he would never be allowed home and he realised just how rotten it had become. The dissident movement and the civilians population rising up were his and Cardassia only chance.
@@vladskiobi He's not gray at all. He's just amorally self-centered. Gray involves knowingly doing both good and evil and acknowledging both as such when committing the actions. His morality is completely based on self-interest and personal wants. Good and evil don't factor, since anything he does can be either one when it suits his needs.
Garak: "Before I became a tailor, I lived by a simple motto: Never let sentiment get in the way of your work." Better Garak: "Before I became a tailor, I lived by a simple motto: No loose ends."
I never realized it the first time I saw it, but this episode is basically Casablanca. Great movie, great episode. "Garak, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Something gets vaporized on a Federation starship in the 23rd century and the alarm gets raised. Someone gets vaporized on a Cardassian space station in the 24th century and Operations is clueless as to why the cargo bay's air filtration system got a sudden strong whiff of Cardassian and a person is suddenly missing without going out of an airlock.
I never noticed before that Turann doesn't even skip a beat when Garak shoots him. His last second is spent wheeling around to try and shoot Garak before he's killed, even as he's disintegrating.
It would have been so much funnier if the phaser he took from Garak exploded in his hand. It would have paired well with the "I can't believe that you were once considered clever" line.
...Pale Moonlight - Could be the best Star Trek episode ever - any generation of Star Trek. Siskos final words Computer delete that entire personal log nails it! = Art!
It wasn't just a means to an end, Garak has only ever had one constant love in his life, that's why he does all he does throughout all 7 seasons. If you look deeper you see everything he does is for his love of Cardassia.
They frequently skipped doing Robinson's hands. It was a long enough process just for the face and neck and he really did feel claustrophobic in the makeup and the heavy costumes.
I still want a DS9 movie! Or just a special on tv, just to see where the characters are 20 years later, with as many actors from TNG, DS9 and Voyager as possible.
@@FireLordJohn3191 unfortunately the stories in the next gen movies suck. But you're right barring the 09 trek the rest of new trek sucks be it movies or show.

+TheKarotechia Shouldn't the alarm have gone off from the phaser fire? In 'Who Mourns for Morn' and 'Business as Usual' Odo and his deputies are there the moment shooting begins.
+Dragblacker That is one of the plot contrivances of Star Trek that you're supposed to just ignore when it comes up. :) Yes - in real life sensors would have immediately notified security that there was disruptor fire (Cardassians used disruptors, not phasers). In some episodes that happens. In others it just gets ignored.
What would have been a great line as they were walking off would be for Quark to stay, "Mind you we aren't friend. Let's just say that I don't wish to see you become bankrupt." Garak looks at Quark surprised and replies, "Well Quark...that's coming from a Frengi that's almost a marriage proposal." They both smile and walk away.
"Never let sentiment get in the way of your work." I bet Quark can relate, it is very close to: ""Never let sentiment get in the way of making a profit."
I feel this episode sheds some light on why Garak is in exile. He let those people go because he loves Cardassia and he had a 2nd phaser, meaning everything went according to his plan. Through the whole show Garak professes his love for Cardassia, yet he lets people escape that go against the Government.
I’ve stated this before about this channel(which I really like the clips) in that it would be real nice to post the proper episode (there are only 176 so I don’t know where you came up with 218) season title ect. Some of us missed the series when it was on TV. I love Garak, what a difference between this character and the villain in the first Dirty Harry.
Garak is probably one of the most tragic figures in DS9, not only because of his past. At the end his love for Cardassia resulted in its destruction, killing millions if not billions of Cardassians.
Seeing this scene all those years ago I thought for a moment that Turan was going to use Garack's phaser, only to have it self-destruct and kill him. Then again, that might have made Garack a bit TOO clever XD
It's interesting to note that the dialogue seems to imply that Garak's exile has to do with Central Command, but later we learn it was much more an Obsidian Order thing. I don't believe the Obsidian Order had been thought up yet when this episode was written.
Well, it had been established that Garak was a spy, and also that he was involved somehow in some event where Gul Dukats father was killed. So certainly Garak didn't have many friends in Cardassian Central Command if Gul Dukat had anything to do with it. :)
"I'm gonna see to it that every Ferengi on the station shops at your store!" _"Ahhh._ That alone makes it _ALL_ worthwhile." Me: Oh shove it, Garak! He's just trying to be nice! XD
So he knew that other order member was on the station before he asked what he was doing there or no? Would he of killed all those people plus quark had he not shown up? Also wouldnt DS9 security know there was shots fired in the sensors? like in that one episode.
There was an earlier scene where Toran came to the shop to gloat to Garak and pitifully bribe him into doing the job with an obvious lie. Here, Garak was blatantly playing for time until Toran showed up so he could be rid of him. We've seen that Garak can be ruthlessly efficient in disposing of people when he wants to. (Like walking up behind Quark and breaking his neck). Also likely that Garak disabled the sensors in that area knowing he'd shoot Toran, security wasn't going to be nearby because Odo decided to let Natima go with the cloaked ship and would probably have moved his officers elsewhere as a precaution.
Garak has been on the station for years, lived the life of Cardassian assassin for decades, and the station is cardassian in origin. If he was planning to kill someone with a phaser, he wouldn't let the sensors get in his way, he would know how to blind them.
They have all the episodes on Amazon Prime and Netflix if you have an account with them. There are definitely some really good episodes of DS9, and the overall story arc is certainly worth watching the series for. However, like most Star Trek, there are some poor episodes in just about every season (even if the overall balance is still good to excellent). If you don't want to feel like you blew money on sketchy episodes, then watching on Netflix or Amazon is definitely the way to go. But if you're a big-time Trek fan and have the cash? There are worse Trek series to own than DS9 to be sure. :)
Yes, It is Extremely entertaining and the Dialog is just gold, The battle Scenes are plentiful and there is far more great than bad with some of the best written characters in all of the Star Trek Universe!
@@christopherhall5361 Plus who knows what illegal additions a Disruptor of an obsidian order agent would have. They are spies after all, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't set alarms.
"Ah that alone makes it all worthwhile" I always loved that comeback, but actually, considering that Quark is a Ferengi, that was a real gesture of gratitude from Quark 😂
That's the difference between a Cardassian station and a Federation station. Vaporizing some one or some thing on a Federation station would have set off an alarm.
When Garak became a tailor, he didn't have to change his business card -- Elim Garak, no loose ends.
I like that. Good one.
Smooth. Very smooth. Honestly, Garak could carry his own show if he got one.

Oh Yeah .. No doubt about that ... and him tustling with Quark .. a dream ..... these are called proper characters ... I miss them
"You've never been right about anything" I just love the don't give a shit manner in the way Garak says that!! Brilliant!
THAT BURN THOUGH
It must've taken incredible restraint on Garak's part to deal with such a glaring intellectual inferior.
Garak was a master of sick burns.
Devin Reese, yes, Toran did take his gun. Two years haven't made Garak 'soft', though they may have caused him to change his views.
Devin Reese Garak took Quark's disruptor earlier in this scene. He was holding it in his other hand.
"I'm going to make sure every Ferengi shops at your store!"
"Ah! That alone makes it *all* worthwhile!"
This might be my favorite Garak quote.
Given how extravagant Ferengi taste in clothing can be, that probably does make it worth it, for the stable income it'll bring him, that Garak can put to doing what he does best

I’ve stated this before about this channel(which I really like the clips) in that it would be real nice to post the proper episode (there are only 176 so I don’t know where you came up with 218) season title ect. Some of us missed the series when it was on TV. I love Garak, what a difference between this character and the villain in the first Dirty Harry.
Garak is probably one of the most tragic figures in DS9, not only because of his past. At the end his love for Cardassia resulted in its destruction, killing millions if not billions of Cardassians.
When Quark offers the promise of future profits for you and your store, no bigger thanks than that.
Seeing this scene all those years ago I thought for a moment that Turan was going to use Garack's phaser, only to have it self-destruct and kill him. Then again, that might have made Garack a bit TOO clever XD
It's interesting to note that the dialogue seems to imply that Garak's exile has to do with Central Command, but later we learn it was much more an Obsidian Order thing. I don't believe the Obsidian Order had been thought up yet when this episode was written.
Well, it had been established that Garak was a spy, and also that he was involved somehow in some event where Gul Dukats father was killed. So certainly Garak didn't have many friends in Cardassian Central Command if Gul Dukat had anything to do with it. :)
"Nev r let sentiment get in the way of your work" hits extra hard after learning about Palendine.
"I'm gonna see to it that every Ferengi on the station shops at your store!"
_"Ahhh._ That alone makes it _ALL_ worthwhile."
Me: Oh shove it, Garak! He's just trying to be nice! XD
Agree it was a sweet declaration ;)
I think he recognises that, but his sarcasm was his way of saying he somewhat appreciated that, but it was a bit feeble.
It's nice to have weapons that eliminates the evidence.
The beginning of a beautiful friendship. We will always have Deep Space nine.
So he knew that other order member was on the station before he asked what he was doing there or no?
Would he of killed all those people plus quark had he not shown up?
Also wouldnt DS9 security know there was shots fired in the sensors? like in that one episode.
There was an earlier scene where Toran came to the shop to gloat to Garak and pitifully bribe him into doing the job with an obvious lie. Here, Garak was blatantly playing for time until Toran showed up so he could be rid of him. We've seen that Garak can be ruthlessly efficient in disposing of people when he wants to. (Like walking up behind Quark and breaking his neck).
Also likely that Garak disabled the sensors in that area knowing he'd shoot Toran, security wasn't going to be nearby because Odo decided to let Natima go with the cloaked ship and would probably have moved his officers elsewhere as a precaution.
Garak has been on the station for years, lived the life of Cardassian assassin for decades, and the station is cardassian in origin. If he was planning to kill someone with a phaser, he wouldn't let the sensors get in his way, he would know how to blind them.
I LOVE Garak!!
Don’t we all? 😉
should I buy the box set? I've only seen some DS9.
They have all the episodes on Amazon Prime and Netflix if you have an account with them. There are definitely some really good episodes of DS9, and the overall story arc is certainly worth watching the series for. However, like most Star Trek, there are some poor episodes in just about every season (even if the overall balance is still good to excellent). If you don't want to feel like you blew money on sketchy episodes, then watching on Netflix or Amazon is definitely the way to go. But if you're a big-time Trek fan and have the cash? There are worse Trek series to own than DS9 to be sure. :)
Yes, It is Extremely entertaining and the Dialog is just gold, The battle Scenes are plentiful and there is far more great than bad with some of the best written characters in all of the Star Trek Universe!
Garak, I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
oh damn Garak, I love you. ;-)
Amazing, no one flinched
Why didnt the alarm go off once the phaser was fired?
because they disabled security for the highly illegal activities they were all in at the time
@@christopherhall5361 Plus who knows what illegal additions a Disruptor of an obsidian order agent would have. They are spies after all, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't set alarms.
"Ah that alone makes it all worthwhile"
I always loved that comeback, but actually, considering that Quark is a Ferengi, that was a real gesture of gratitude from Quark 😂
Too bad we don't still have Garak and a current version of DS9...
Garak was one of the most magnificent sons-of-bitches in Deep Space Nine.
Ouch, being vaporized must hurt!
That's the difference between a Cardassian station and a Federation station. Vaporizing some one or some thing on a Federation station would have set off an alarm.
It would have anyway, they had alarms set but Garak would have known this and deactivated them same as security cameras.
All the Ferengi and Garak were my favorite characters of the series.
